The delay is caused mostly just by the fact that the control system is so much more complex than last year's--for one, the cRio has an actual operating system. There's also a lot more paralell processing going on, which means that in order for the robot to perform all its functions, all the coprocessing devices need to be booted up, which for my team is the camera, bridge, and DS, in addition to the cRio.

I have been wondering how they're going to manage this at competitions--at the minimum, we'll be wating for the (significant) amount of time it takes the DS to boot since it'll be off until we plug in the competition port.
